Came in for a immigration medical exam and he told me I needed to get some labs done. After I finished them, he would sign off on the paperwork and I could pick it up. Sherry, his nurse gave me all the information I needed and made sure to call me back promptly whenever I had questions. Reception's communication skills can be...refined, but the experience was stellar overall.

I am not sure if this doctor will be my first choice. I went to him because he was the only one who…read morewas USCIS designated medical physician. I am a bit of a traditionalist, going to a male doctor for physical check up scares me. I am in health care profession and usually a female nurse is present in the room during physical check ups. Well, his female medical assistant walked out the room. I panicked and my BP went up to 355/225. He scared me even more when he asked me questions about my ethnicity/background/heritage etc. Then he tells me he has to report me to ICE, since I had no health insurance, and my status in US was questionable. (note: yes I had no health insurance, because I had a job of live in caregiver, and I was a legal documented Immigrant who was being sponsored by her employer) Anyways, he advised I go to to ER and get an IV drip to lower my BP before I stroke out. I almost fainted. I went home instead, drank water, I called my family physician she saw me at her office. My BP was 125/65. I told her what had happened, she said I am not the only one, she has seen other female very legal and undocumented immigrants too who visited this guy and suffered a panic attack. Anyways she gave me meds, and after a week I returned to this guy with a low and very normal parameters of BP and I got my USCIS clean medical bill of health. I give him 3 stars. He was not very professional, and should've known that usually immigrants esp. female ones who hail from certain countries don't like being left alone with male doctors. And I do wish USCIS designate a female doctor too.

Do yourself a favor and just call AU health's central appointment line. The staff can't make appointments without new patient forms filled out. And they can't expedite new patient appointments based on patient needs. There is no webform and no way to submit the form via a modern interface like email. Instead you have to go though their disastrously implemented new patient portal (separate from their patient portal that is accessible though the website) doesn't seem to transmit jpegs or pdfs despite showing them in the sent folder. The person on the phone can't tell you if your forms went through on their garbage messaging system. Even if they do go through, the doctor has to 'accept' you. There is no time expectation for this step, it takes as long as it takes, could be weeks. Is this an exclusive club or a primary care doctor? Each time I call they tell me my expected wait for my new patient appointment is longer, from 2 weeks the first time I called and attempted to submit the form to 4-6 weeks today. There were too many red flags, I just couldn't believe this complete lack of professionalism and poor service. Thank goodness I called the AU central line today, they gave me an new patient primarily care appointment two days from now. If I had started with AU I could have avoided hours of stress and headaches and some urgent care and ER visits. Don't be fooled!

I'm still fairly new to the world of pediatric care but since we moved to Aiken, I've been taking…read moremy son to SouthernMed (he's just over a year old now). My biggest complaint about this clinic and almost all clinics in the area is their 100% vaccine policy- you either agree to give your child all recommended vaccines on schedule OR you cannot be seen by them at all. I believe they should be a little more open to discussion about certain vaccines (how is my child at risk of HepB right now???) but because I haven't found a clinic without such a policy, we have been at SouthernMed. They have online charts which is nice, a pretty easy check in process, two separate waiting rooms for sick or healthy kids that are not very clearly marked and often get confused. For the most part our nurses have been kind and we've seen a PA we like for most appointments. We saw Dr Luther most recently and she was very nice and hopefully we will see her more. The very first visit here, the PA we saw was NOT helpful and gave some very questionable advice that I have since brought up but besides that the care has been pretty middle of the line average care. I wouldn't say they're incredible but they aren't the worst either.
